One Afsluitdijk | many stories

National & regional

De Nieuwe Afsluitdijk is a partnership between the provinces of North Holland and Fryslân, and the municipalities Hollands Kroon, Súdwest-Fryslân and Harlingen. The national government (Rijkswaterstaat) and the regional government institutions want to reinforce the Afsluitdijk and make it more appealing. Rijkswaterstaat is responsible for strengthening the safety of the dam and increasing the discharge capacity. De Nieuwe Afsluitdijk wants the Afsluitdijk to become an example of sustainable innovation in the field of Energy & Water, Nature & Water and Economy & Water. Together these sustainable developments will contribute to the socioeconomic strengthening of the regions on both sides of the Afsluitdijk. More information >>
